Michael R. Wurm and Nancy A. Wurm raise Percheron horses in Meriden, KS, in northeastern Kansas near Topeka. They have focused on consistent bloodlines supported by annual health screenings, meticulous nutritional plans, and membership in national draft horse associations.

Their horses are raised on a pasture-based system where daily handling and early socialization build trust and confidence. Mares and foals spend ample time together to encourage natural bonding and healthy development in the herd. The farm’s rolling pastures and spacious loafing sheds give Percheron foals room to grow in a calm setting.

Family involvement across generations has helped maintain a steady temperament in each foal and a welcoming atmosphere at the barn. The Wurms also host educational visits so prospective caretakers can observe handling and learn about conformation assessment. Several local trainers note the gentle strength of these horses when used for light farm work or trail outings.
